New York Records Decline in Smoking Rate

New York Citys smoking rate has shown a decline, thanks to the comprehensive program in 2002, encouraging smokers to kick the habit. The statistics in the 2006 report shows a decline in the smoking rate by 20%, in comparison to 2002 figures.

Over the past year, smoking decreased among men (from 22.5% to 19.9%) and among Hispanics (from 20.2% to 17.1%). These large declines followed a year-long ad campaign aimed at prompting more smokers to quit. The new report is available online at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/.

Beginning in 2002, and after a decade with no progress, New York City increased the tobacco tax, eliminated smoking in virtually all workplaces, and launched hard-hitting anti-tobacco ads. By all indications, the interventions have made a difference. Hard-hitting ads work, said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden -- especially when theyre paired with a tobacco tax and smoke-free air legislation. With nearly a quarter of a million fewer smokers, New York City is leading the way on tobacco control. There arent many programs that can prevent 80,000 premature deaths this quickly.

Ads from the 2006 campaign graphically depicted tobacco smokes effects on the brain, lungs and arteries, showing testimonials from sick and dying smokers and their children, including former smoker Ronaldo Martinez, who now breaths through a hole in his throat as a result of smoking-related cancer. In a separate recent survey, nine out of 10 smokers said they saw the ads -- and half of smokers said the ads made them want to quit.

Highlights in Smoking Declines Since 2002 The smoking rate fell faster among women (23% decline) than among men (15% decline).

Rates among young adults (ages 18-24) have declined twice as much as rates among other adult age groups

Among all ethnic groups, Asian New Yorkers have made the most progress, with a 30% decline in the smoking rates, though Asian males still smoke at a
